- Heart and circulatory system problems. Diabetic autonomic neuropathy may damage the nerves in the heart and circulatory system, causing a: 1  Sudden drop in blood pressure when you sit or stand up suddenly (orthostatic hypotension). 2  Rapid heart rate when you are not exercising (resting tachycardia). 3  Heart attack that causes no chest pain (silent heart attack).

- Symptoms. Signs and symptoms of autonomic neuropathy vary based on the nerves affected. They may include: 1  Dizziness and fainting when standing caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. 2  Urinary problems, such as difficulty starting urination, incontinence, difficulty sensing a full bladder and inability to completely empty the bladder, which can lead to urinary tract infections.

Peripheral Neuropathy In some polyneuropathies, typically in SFN, autonomic fibers are also affected. In these disorders, a variety of autonomic symptoms may be present, although certainly the most dramatic and incapacitating is orthostatic hypotension, which causes postural light-headedness, syncope, or both.ensory symptoms include sensory loss, often described by patients as a sense of numbness or a “Novocain-like” feeling. In most generalized polyneuropathies, these symptoms begin in the most distal extent of the longest sensory fibers (i.e., those that subserve sensation in the toes and feet).

Autonomic neuropathy Autonomic neuropathy occurs when the nerves that control involuntary bodily functions are damaged. This may affect blood pressure, temperature control, digestion, bladder function and even sexual function. The nerve damage interferes with the messages sent between the brain and other organs and areas of the autonomic nervous system, such as the heart, blood vessels and sweat glands. While diabetes is generally the most common cause of autonomic neuropathy, other health conditions — even an infection — may be to blame.

Cardiomyopathy What are the signs and symptoms of cardiomyopathy? When the heart fails to contract properly oxygenated blood is not pumped adequately to the tissues and organs of the body. This inability to deliver oxygen to body tissues can lead to generalized weakness and fatigue. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath on exertion or chest pain.

Neuropathy Signs & Symptoms Signs and Symptoms of Nerve Damage. Symptoms of neuropathy depend on the type of nerve(s) affected (e.g., motor, sensory, autonomic) and where the nerve is located in the body. One or more types of nerve may be damaged. Muscle weakness, cramps and spasms are associated with motor nerve damage.

- Autonomic neuropathy is a different type of nerve damage that occurs in people with diabetes. It refers to damage to the nerves that regulate the internal organ systems such as bladder muscles, the digestive system, and the heart. Autonomic neuropathy can cause these important organ systems to malfunction.

Autonomic Neuropathy Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms that occur when there is damage to the nerves that manage every day body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, bowel and bladder emptying, and digestion. Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms, not a specific disease. There are many causes. Autonomic neuropathy involves damage to the nerves that carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the heart, blood vessels, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, and pupils.
